3 1. General 1.1 Introduction These operating instructions describe the operating principle and features of the E00 series of Kendrion electromagnetic single-face clutches. The safety information provided in this manual must be strictly observed during the set-up of the machine (e.g. motor) and during the start-up, operation and maintenance of the electromagnetic single-face clutch. Should any queries arise with respect to torques, torque variations, installation position, wear, wear reserve, switching work, break-in conditions, release range, ambient conditions and the like, please contact Kendrion and ask for clarification before starting to use the clutch. Kendrion electromagnetic single-face clutches in the E00 series are not ready-to-use devices, but are intended to be incorporated into or assembled with other equipment. Consequently, they will be referred to as components in the following sections. 1.2 Standards and directives The state-of-the-art clutches have been designed, built and tested in accordance with the requirements of DIN VDE 0580 concerning electromagnetic devices and components. Being classified as electromagnetic components, electromagnetic single-face clutches are not subject to the Low Voltage Directive and must not bear a CE mark of conformity. The user is required to employ suitable switching devices and controls to ensure use of the clutches in accordance with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC. 1.3 Declaration of Incorporation (in accordance with Annex II, part 1, Section B of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC) We hereby declare that the products below comply with the essential health and safety requirements specified in Annex I of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC: Annex I General Principles, Annex I Sections 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.5, 1.3.2, The partly completed machinery must not be put into service until the final machinery into which it is to be incorporated has been declared in conformity with the provisions of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

4 1.4 Manufacturer's liability The manufacturer will not assume any responsibility for damage caused by failure to use the products in accordance with their intended use or by failure to observe safety information and other instructions provided in this manual. The information in this manual was correct and up-to-date before going to print. The information contained herein shall not entitle users to raise claims with respect to components purchased at an earlier date. 2. Product description 2.1 Operating principle The electromagnetic single-face clutch for front-end mounting is designed to operate dry. The force generated by an electromagnetic field is utilized for torque transmission. The electromagnetic single-face clutch engages when DC voltage is applied. The clutch releases (opens) in unpowered condition when DC voltage is removed. The zero backlash connection between the armature and flange hub of the clutch (output side) ensures zero backlash transmission of the clutch torque to the output shaft of the machine and reliable disconnection of the single-face clutch with zero residual torque. 2.2 Clutch design The solenoid housing (1.1) of the electromagnetic single-face clutch accommodates the firmly fitted field coil (1.2) with wire leads (1.3) that exit on the rear side of the clutch. The magnet body (2) with the front-side friction lining (3) is firmly connected with the drive shaft (12) of the machine (e.g. motor). The solenoid housing (1.1) is fitted to the front face of the clutch and centred. Sufficient clearance is provided between the rotating magnet body (2) and the solenoid housing (1.1) so that the components will not rub against each other. Depending on the specific clutch design, the armature (4) is mounted to the Kendrion flange hub (5) provided or to a customer-specific flange hub version and thus connected directly to the output side of the machine by means of segment springs (7) and rivet fasteners (6) or socket head cap screws (6) 2) (if armature systems without Kendrion flange hub (5) are used). The armature connection thus established is axially movable, torsion-proof and friction-free. This ensures zero residual torque during horizontal or vertical clutch operation. The rated air gap 's' between the armature (4) and magnet body (2) of the electromagnetic single-face clutch is adjusted during clutch mounting (e.g. through mounting tolerances). The electromagnetic field force generated when DC voltage is applied to the field coil (1.2) of the electromagnetic single-face clutch attracts the armature (4) and pulls it in frictional contact with the friction lining (3) or magnet body (2), causing the clutch to engage. Except for the minimal force exerted by the segment springs (7), the output shaft (13) and drive shaft (12) are not exposed to any other axial force.

5 Rated air gap Fig. 5/1: Electromagnetic single-face clutch E00 with flange hub (5) 3. Installation 3.1 Mechanical installation After having centred the solenoid housing (1.1) with the fixture (11) of the machine (e.g. motor) over the inside or outside housing diameter, screw the entire assembly (without magnet body (2)) to the rear side of the mounting surface of the fixture (11) provided on the machine (e.g. motor). Use the mounting screws (10) (e.g. socket head cap screws to ISO 1207, property class 5.8) for this purpose. Tighten the mounting screws (10) evenly in several steps. The MA tightening torques (see Table 8/1) specified for the mounting screws (10) and the thread lengths (see Table 8/1) must be strictly observed. After completion of these operations, press the magnet body (2) onto the drive shaft (12) of the machine and secure it axially. The drive shaft (12) features a feather key (14). For uniform loads, the drive shaft should have a j6 tolerance, whereas a k6 tolerance is required for irregular loads. The maximum mismatch (see Table 8/1) between the solenoid housing (1.1) and magnet body (2) must not be exceeded. Armature system with Kendrion flange hub (5): Slide the flange hub (5) with the armature (4) onto the output shaft (13) of the machine and secure it axially (e.g. by means of a set screw (8)). If a flange hub (5) without keyway is used, press the flange hub (5) onto the output shaft (13) without using a set screw (8). Ensure that the output shaft (13) of the machine is dimensioned in such a way that the rated air gap 's' (see Table 23/1 Technical specifications ) is achieved automatically when the flange hub (5) is mounted (e.g. output shaft (13) with contact shoulder for flange hub (5)). If there is no contact shoulder, use a feeler gauge or similar instrument for the axial adjustment of the rated air gap 's' (see Table 23/1 Technical specifications ). Note! When the flange hub (5) is in contact with a shaft contact shoulder, use shim rings for adjustment, if necessary. Kendrion Binder Magnete GmbH Operating Instructions E00 Last updated: 30 Dec Page 5

6 Armature system without Kendrion flange hub (5) (customer-specific flange hub (5)): Screw the armature (4) directly to the customer-specific flange hub (5) provided on the machine. Use socket head cap screws (6) to ISO 1207, property class 5.8, for this purpose. For size 07 clutches and over, use socket head cap screws (6) to DIN 7984, property class 8.8. The number of socket head cap screws (6) to be used and the MA tightening torques are specified in Table 7/1. Apply Loctite 241 to the socket head cap screws (6). Ensure that the customer-specific flange hub (5) of the machine is dimensioned in such a way that correct operation of the armature system is achieved when the armature (4) has been installed. To this end, the customer-specific flange hub (5) must be provided with an undercut, clearing holes and fastening threads as shown in Fig. 6/1. The geometrical dimensions of the customer-specific flange hub (5) are specified in Table 7/1. Ensure that the output shaft (13) of the machine is dimensioned in such a way that the rated air gap 's' (see Table 23/1 Technical specifications ) is achieved automatically when the customerspecific flange hub (5) is mounted (e.g. output shaft (13) with contact shoulder for flange hub (5)). If there is no contact shoulder, use a feeler gauge or similar instrument for the axial adjustment of the rated air gap 's' (see Table 23/1 Technical specifications ). Note! When the flange hub (5) is in contact with a shaft contact shoulder, use shim rings for adjustment, if necessary. Note! If an armature system without Kendrion flange hub (5) is used, make sure to apply Loctite 241 to the socket head cap screws (6) used to fix the armature (4). The depth of the undercut provided for the segment springs (7) must be strictly observed to ensure that the return force required by the segment springs (7) is achieved.

The air gap must not be larger or smaller than the rated air gap 's' (see Table 23/1 Technical specifications ). The assembled components, especially the friction surface, must be free of oil and grease. The axial runout of the mounting surface relative to the drive shaft (12) must be less than 0.1 mm (measuring radius = pitch circle). During clutch installation, all parts must be axially secured and axial bearing play must be eliminated. During installation of the Kendrion or customer-specific flange hub (5) with armature (4), deformation of the segment springs (7) must be avoided. Warning! If a flange hub (5) without keyway is used, the output shaft (13) and flange hub (5) must be fitted together in such a way that reliable transmission of the generated clutch torques is ensured. Attention! The maximum axial offset between the drive shaft (12) and output shaft (13) must not exceed 0.05 mm. The maximum angular offset must not exceed 10 angular minutes. If greater deviations occur, an additional flexible coupling or compensating coupling will be required. Note! When the magnet body (2) is pressed in place, ensure that the pressure force is not transmitted to the magnet body (2) via the outer pole ring. Any impact of the magnet body (2) must be avoided to prevent potential deformation of the friction surfaces and damage to the machine bearings.

The MA tightening torques specified for the mounting screws (10) (see Table 8/1) and socket head cap screws (6) (see Table 7/1 for customer-specific flange hub (5)) must be strictly observed. Tighten the mounting screws (10) and socket head cap screws (6) evenly in several steps. Note! Magnetic interference fields may affect reliable clutch operation. Consequently, the clutch should always be installed outside the reach of magnetic interference fields. Kendrion Binder Magnete GmbH Operating Instructions E00 Last updated: 30 Dec Page 8

9 3.2 Electrical connection and operation The electromagnetic single-face clutch must be connected to a DC power source via the wire leads (1.3). Various rectifier versions are available (see examples in Table 9/1) to allow the clutch to be connected directly to an AC power source. Depending on the clutch size and torque, voltage ripple due to intermittent power supply may cause humming or incorrect operation. Perfect operation must be ensured by the user or system manufacturer by providing suitable electrical controls. Note! During operation, any contact of the wire leads (1.3) with the rotating armature or other rotating parts must be avoided. Reduce the lead length, if necessary.

Table 9/1: Recommended rectifiers for single-phase AC voltage supply DC power supply The figure to the right shows the voltage curve after the field coil (1.2) has been de-energized. M Attention! The peak voltage UVmax during disconnection without protective circuit may reach several thousand volts in the millisecond region. This may cause irreversible damage to the field coil (1.2), switching contacts and electronic components. Sparking will occur on the switch during disconnection. Consequently, a protective circuit must be provided to reduce the current during disconnection and to limit the voltage. The maximum permitted overvoltage during disconnection is 1500 V. If Kendrion rectifiers are used (see Table 9/1), the protective circuit required for the built-in electronic components and field coil (1.2) is included in the rectifier. This does not apply to the external contacts required for DC side switching as there would be no galvanic isolation of the external contact. Attention!

Wiring of the clutch in case of single-phase AC power supply must be performed in the same way as with three-phase voltage. The coupling times vary depending on the switching type (DC side switching or AC side switching). Kendrion Binder Magnete GmbH Operating Instructions E00 Last updated: 30 Dec Page 9

This means that humming can be avoided even if small size clutches are used. In case of bridge rectification, the U2 coil voltage is lower by factor 0.89 than the rectifier input voltage. AC side switching: The easiest wiring method is to connect the rectifier in parallel with the clutch in the terminal box of the machine (e.g. motor). It must be considered, however, that the motor may act as a generator after AC voltage has been removed and thus extend the coupling time significantly (by factor 5 or over). The disconnection times remain unchanged. DC side switching: In case of DC side clutch switching, an auxiliary contact is provided on the motor contactor, for example. This auxiliary contact is designed to interrupt the power supply on the DC side. Kendrion Binder Magnete GmbH Operating Instructions E00 Last updated: 30 Dec Page 10

11 Attention! In case of DC side switching, the clutch must be provided with a protective circuit to avoid overvoltage. Additional protective elements (e.g. varistors, spark arresters, etc.) must be installed to avoid damage such as burns or fusing of contacts. Warning! Work on the clutch must only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel. Make sure that no voltage is applied during clutch connection. The specifications on the rating plate and the information provided in the circuit diagram in the terminal box or in the operating instructions must be strictly observed. Warning! The clutch is a DC operated system. Permanent voltage variations on the power source of the electromagnetic clutch must be limited to +/-10% of the rated voltage. The following checks must be carried out when connecting the clutch: Check that the connecting cables are suitable for the intended use and for the voltage and amperage of the clutch. Check that the connecting cables are secured with screws, clamps or other suitable fixtures to avoid interruptions in the power supply. Check that the connecting cables are long enough for the intended use and that suitable torsion, strain and shear relief features as well as bending protections are provided. Check that the PE conductor (only for protection class I) is connected to the earthing point. Check that no foreign matter, dirt or humidity is trapped inside the terminal box. Check that unused cable entries and the terminal box are suitably sealed to ensure compliance with the protection class requirements to EN Kendrion Binder Magnete GmbH Operating Instructions E00 Last updated: 30 Dec Page 11

12 3.3 Electromagnetic compatibility As required by the German Electromagnetic Compatibility Act (EMVG), electromagnetic compatibility is essential to ensure immunity to external electromagnetic fields and conducted interference. Furthermore, the emission of electromagnetic fields and line-conducted interference during clutch operation must be minimized. Since the clutch features depend on the circuitry and operation, a declaration of conformity with the applicable EMC standard can only be furnished for the wiring type, but not for a specific clutch. The electromagnetic single-face clutch type E00 is designed for industrial applications to which the following EMC standards apply: Generic Immunity Standard EN and Generic Emission Standard EN / EN Other applications may be subject to different generic standards which must be considered by the manufacturer of the overall system. The requirements in terms of electromagnetic compatibility of devices and components are determined by basic standards derived from the generic standards. Wiring recommendations will be provided in the following sections to ensure compliance with the individual basic standards that are relevant for industrial use and other applications. Please refer to the specification sheets for additional information on electromagnetic compatibility, especially with respect to the recommended electronic rectifiers specified in Section 3.2. Immunity according to EN : EN Electrostatic discharge: The electromagnetic single-face clutches in the E00 series comply at least with severity level 3 without requiring additional measures. The recommended rectifiers specified in Section 3.2 conform to severity level 3 without additional measures. EN Electromagnetic fields: The clutches comply at least with severity level 3 without requiring additional measures. The recommended rectifiers conform to severity level 3 without additional measures. EN Fast transients (burst): The clutches comply at least with severity level 3 without requiring additional measures. The recommended rectifiers conform to severity level 3. EN Surge: The clutches comply at least with severity level 3 without requiring additional measures. The recommended rectifiers conform to severity level 3. EN Pulse magnetic fields, EN Damped oscillatory magnetic fields: Since the operating magnetic fields of the electromagnetic clutches are stronger many times over than interference fields, the clutch function will remain unaffected. The clutches comply at least with severity level 4. The recommended rectifiers conform at least to severity level 3. EN Voltage dips, short interruptions, and short supply voltage variations: a) Voltage interruptions: Clutches that comply with the requirements of DIN VDE 0580 are de-energized after the specified switching times at the latest. The switching time depends on the control and mains conditions (e.g. generator effect of running down motors). Voltage interruptions of shorter duration than the response delay specified by DIN VDE 0580 will not cause any malfunctions. The user is required to take adequate precautions to avoid consequential damage (e.g. slip of an electromagnetically engaged system due to torque drop). The functional reliability of the electromagnetic component and its electronic accessories remains unaffected if the aforementioned consequential damage is avoided. b) Voltage dips and short supply voltage variations: Electromagnetically released systems: Voltage dips and supply voltage variations to below 60% of the rated voltage and lasting longer than the response delay specified by DIN VDE 0580 may cause the clutch to be de-energized temporarily. Consequential damage as described under a) above must be avoided by the user by taking adequate precautions. Electromagnetically engaged systems: Voltage dips and supply voltage variations to below the minimum tolerance threshold will cause torque reductions. The user is required to take adequate precautions to avoid consequential damage. Kendrion Binder Magnete GmbH Operating Instructions E00 Last updated: 30 Dec Page 12

13 Radio interference suppression in accordance with EN 55011: The clutches and the recommended electronic rectifiers are classified as Group 1 equipment in accordance with EN As far as the emissions from this equipment are concerned, one distinguishes between field guided radiated interference and line-conducted interference. a) Radiated interference: When operated with DC voltage or rectified 50/60 Hz AC voltage, all clutches comply with the limit values applicable to Class B equipment. b) Conducted interference: When connected to a DC power source, the electromagnetic clutches meet the limit values applicable to Class A equipment. If the clutches are L connected to a 50/60 Hz AC power source and equipped R with electronic rectifiers or other electronic controls, interference suppression measures as shown in Fig. 13/1 must be taken to ensure compliance with the limit U values applicable to Class A equipment. Interference suppression capacitors should be used which must be dimensioned to suit the connection data of the electromagnetic components and the specific mains C conditions. The recommended rectifiers specified in Section 3.2 are CE mark certified in accordance with the EMC Directive. They have built-in interference suppression components and comply at least with the requirements of EN for Class A equipment, Fig. 13/1 unless otherwise specified in the specification sheet. When clutches are used with the specified rectifiers or with other types of rectifiers, the recommended values listed in Table 14/1 should be observed. Interference suppression components should be installed as close as possible to the consumer. Interference caused during switching operations of the electromagnetic component is generally attributable to the inductive load. Where necessary, assemblies designed to limit the disconnection voltage (e.g. anti-parallel diode) or voltage limiting components (e.g. varistors, suppressor diodes, resistance diodes and the like) can be installed. However, such components will inevitably change the switching times of the clutch and increase the generated noise level. The rectifiers specified in Section 3.2 are equipped with free-wheel diodes and/or varistors to limit the disconnection voltage. In case of DC side switching, a varistor rated for the type-specific maximum operating voltage and connected in parallel with the field coil (1.2) limits the peak voltage to the values specified in Table 14/2. If the clutch is used in connection with other electronic accessories, the user is responsible to ensure compliance with EMC requirements. Compliance with applicable standards concerning the design and operation of components, sub-assemblies or equipment employed shall not relieve the user and manufacturer of the overall system from their obligation to furnish proof of conformity of the overall system with such standards.

15 3.4 Set-up and start-up Warning! Functional testing of the clutch must not be performed unless the machine (e.g. motor) has been switched off and secured against accidental or unintentional start-up. The following checks must be carried out: Check compliance with the specifications provided on the rating plate with respect to the mounting position and protection class. After connection of the clutch, a functional test must be performed to check that the output shaft (13) rotates smoothly. For this purpose, turn the shaft (13) while the clutch and the machine (e.g. motor) are unpowered. After completion of mounting, all necessary covers and guards must be installed. Warning! Before starting the machine (e.g. motor) test run without driven components, the feather key (if used) must be secured in such a way that it cannot be hurled out. The output shaft (13) must not be exposed to load torques. Before the machine is re-started, the clutch must be energized. Caution! The clutch surface temperature may rise to over 100 C. Heat-sensitive parts such as conventional cables or electronic components must not be fixed to or be in contact with these surfaces. If necessary, suitable protections and hand guards must be installed to avoid accidental contact with hot surfaces! If the shaft needs to be turned during set-up operations while the machine (e.g. motor) is switched off, the clutch must be unpowered and disengaged. Attention! High-voltage tests performed during clutch installation within an overall system or during start-up must be carried out in such a way that damage to the built-in electronic accessories is avoided. The limits for highvoltage tests and follow-up tests specified by DIN VDE 0580 must be observed. Attention! Check that the clutch has been connected in accordance with the specifications provided on the rating plate before it is put into operation. Even short-term operation outside the specified supply voltage limits may cause irreversible damage to the clutch or electronic accessories. Such damage may not be apparent immediately. DC side clutch switching without protective circuit as described in Section 3.3 will cause damage to electronic rectifiers, electronic accessories, switching contacts and to the field coil (1.2).

16 4. Maintenance 4.1 Checks and service The electromagnetic single-face clutch does not require any particular maintenance except that the air gap 's' must be measured at regular intervals. When the maximum air gap smax (see Table 23/1 Technical specifications ) between the armature (4) and magnet body (2) of the electromagnetic single-face clutch has been reached, the entire clutch must be replaced by a new one. Follow the instructions in Section 3.1 ( Mechanical installation ) to adjust or correct the air gap 's'. (For information on the rated air gap, please refer to Table 23/1 Technical specifications. If the clutch is not operated for a long period of time, the pole faces may corrode and reduce the torque. A short break-in process (see Table 23/2) will restore correct and reliable clutch operation. Note! Replace the clutch by a new one after the air gap 's' has been adjusted (corrected) twice. Attention! The MA tightening torques specified for the mounting screws (10) (see Table 8/1) and socket head cap screws (6) (see Table 7/1 for customer-specific flange hub (5)) must be strictly observed. Tighten the mounting screws (10) and socket head cap screws (6) evenly in several steps. Caution! Depending on its operating condition, engagement of the electromagnetic single-face clutch may no longer be possible when the maximum air gap smax (see Table 23/1 Technical specifications ) has been exceeded. This may affect the reliability of the clutch system. Warning! Whenever inspection and maintenance work is carried out, ensure that the machine (e.g. motor) is secured against accidental or unintentional start-up. no load torque acts on the shaft. the lock provided to prevent accidental start-up of the machine (e.g. motor) is removed after completion of inspection and maintenance work. all friction surfaces are free of grease and oil. An oily or greasy friction surface cannot be cleaned. no swelling or glazing of the friction lining has occurred. 4.2 Spare parts and accessories The electromagnetic single-face clutch does not require any maintenance, provided it is used in accordance with its intended use. If defects occur on the clutch or individual components, the entire clutch needs to be replaced. Individual spare parts or accessories are not available for the clutch. 5. Condition at delivery Upon receipt of the shipment, the clutch must be checked for transit damage before storage. The electromagnetic single-face clutch is delivered ready for mounting. The rated air gap 's' (see Table 23/1 Technical specifications ) must be adjusted during clutch installation. After the clutch has been mounted, it requires a break-in process using the break-in parameters specified in Table 23/2. Kendrion Binder Magnete GmbH Operating Instructions E00 Last updated: 30 Dec Page 16

17 Note! The coil system of the clutch and the flange hub with armature (if a Kendrion flange hub is used) are factoryadjusted to ensure reliable clutch release (opening). Consequently, individual components cannot be replaced. If the clutch is not installed immediately upon delivery, it must be stored in a dry, dust-free and vibration-proof place. 6. Emissions 6.1 Noise The electromagnetic single-face clutch produces switching noise during engagement and release. The noise level is determined by the installation conditions, circuitry (e.g. with overexcitation) and air gap. Depending on the mounting position, operating conditions and state of the friction surfaces, audible vibrations (squealing) may be produced during clutch operation. 6.2 Heat Clutch operation and gradual heating of the field coil cause the temperature of the solenoid housing and magnet body to increase substantially. Under adverse conditions, the surface temperature may rise to well over 100 C. Caution! Risk of burns in case of contact with hot surfaces! Suitable covers and hand guards must be installed to provide protection against accidental contact. 7.

18 8. Safety The clutches described in these operating instructions have been designed and built on the basis of an analysis of hazards and in accordance with the requirements of the applicable harmonized standards and technical specifications. They correspond to the state of the art and provide maximum safety. However, safety hazards can only be avoided if the user of the equipment takes adequate precautions and makes sure that safety instructions are strictly adhered to. It is the duty of the machine owner to plan these measures and to check their implementation. The machine owner is required to ensure that: the clutches are only used in accordance with their intended use (see Product description section). the clutches are in perfect working order and checked at regular intervals. a complete and fully legible copy of these operating instructions is kept available at the place of use of the clutches at all times. start-up, maintenance and repair work is only done by authorized and suitably qualified personnel. such personnel are kept informed on all relevant occupational safety and environmental protection issues and familiar with these operating instructions and with the safety information contained herein. the clutches are not exposed to other strong magnetic fields. 8.1 Intended use The clutches described in these operating instructions are intended to be assembled with machines, in particular electric motors, for use on industrial plant. Operation in potentially explosive or firedamp atmospheres is not allowed. The clutches must be used in accordance with the operating requirements detailed in this manual. The rated power limits specified herein must not be exceeded. 8.2 General safety information Clutches fitted to motors feature hazardous live components and rotating parts and may exhibit hot surfaces. Any work associated with the transport, connection, start-up and periodical maintenance of the clutches must be carried out by authorized and suitably qualified personnel (in accordance with VDE 0105; IEC 364). Failure to observe safety, operating and maintenance instructions may cause serious personal injury and severe damage to the equipment. Whenever special measures are required in accordance with the instructions contained herein, such measures should be agreed with the clutch manufacturer before the machinery into which the clutch is to be incorporated is set up. Should any queries arise with respect to torques, torque variations, installation positions, wear, wear reserve, switching work, break-in conditions, release range, ambient conditions and the like, please contact Kendrion and ask for clarification before using the clutch. Retrofitting or modification work to be carried out on the clutch is subject to the approval from Kendrion. Accident prevention regulations applying to the specific field of application of the clutch must be strictly observed. The clutches described in this manual are not designed for use as safety components. This means that torque reductions caused by factors beyond the user's control cannot be excluded Set-up Requirements in terms of the permitted number of switching operations per hour and the maximum switching work per switching operation specified in the technical specifications must be strictly observed during the setup of machines and plant (jog mode). Failure to observe these instructions may irreversibly affect reliable clutch operation and cause malfunctions. Normal operating conditions are those specified by DIN VDE The protection rating conforms to EN In case of deviations, special measures must be taken after prior consultation with the manufacturer. Bear in mind that the armature may freeze to the flange hub if ambient temperatures fall below -5 C or if the clutch remains unpowered for prolonged periods of time. In this case, special precautions must be taken after consultation with the manufacturer. Kendrion Binder Magnete GmbH Operating Instructions E00 Last updated: 30 Dec Page 18

19 8.2.2 Start-up The clutches must not be put into operation when: power supply cables/wires or connections are damaged. the solenoid housing or coil sheath is damaged. other defects are suspected Installation The voltage level and voltage type specified on the rating plate must be strictly observed when connecting the clutches described in these operating instructions. Sufficient heat dissipation must be ensured when the clutch is fitted to or incorporated into other equipment. Adequate precautions must be taken to avoid overvoltage during disconnection or voltage peaks. The magnetic field of the products may cause interference outside the clutch or even feedback to the clutch in case of adverse installation conditions. Should you have queries concerning mounting and fitting conditions, please contact the clutch manufacturer and ask for clarification. Adequate safety measures (DIN VDE 0848, part 4; DIN 31000/VDE 1000; DIN VDE 0100, part 0420) must be taken by the clutch user to avoid hazards to persons and animals or damage to equipment caused by: direct or indirect effects of electromagnetic fields, heated components, mobile parts Operation Ensure that live components such as plug contacts or the field coil are not exposed to water. The clutch cable connections must not be crushed, squeezed or exposed to mechanical loads. Make absolutely sure that the friction surfaces of the friction elements are not contaminated with grease, oil or other fluids to avoid substantial torque reduction. Bear in mind that the original torque cannot be restored even if the friction surfaces are cleaned after contact with fluids. The gradual clutch wear (only with dynamic clutches) must be taken into consideration in the set-up of the machine or overall system. Due to the diverse ambient conditions in which the clutches may be used, always check that the clutch is in perfect working order before start-up. Torque reductions cannot be excluded if the clutch is used for applications where only minimum friction work is required. In such cases, the user should ensure that the clutch occasionally performs sufficient friction work. Note! The clutch must be operated at an ambient temperature of between -5 C and +35 C and at a maximum relative humidity of 75% (at 20 C ambient temperature). Attention! A maximum 6g continual shock load over a service life of 20,000 operating hours is permitted for the clutch. The armature connection, hub connection and electrical connection are subject to the user's approval. Vibration loads with a maximum excursion of 1.5 mm and a maximum 6g acceleration are permitted within a frequency band of 10 to 2000 Hz. Note! The clutch, and more specifically the armature, is not subject to specific requirements in terms of the balance quality grade to DIN ISO Consequently, the required balance quality must be agreed between the manufacturer and customer in each individual case.

20 Note! The maximum air gap smax (see Table 23/1 Technical specifications ) must not be exceeded throughout the entire clutch service life. (Please refer to Section 4 Maintenance for details.) Note! The M2 rated torque (see Table 23/1 Technical specifications ) is not fully reached until the break-in process has been completed (burnishing of friction surfaces). The break-in parameters are specified in Table 23/2. Before the clutch is first used, the break-in process must be conducted by the product owner Maintenance and repair Repair work must only be carried out by qualified personnel (definition to IEC 364). Failure to perform repairs according to requirements may cause serious personal injury or equipment damage. Make sure that no voltage is applied to the clutches when carrying out maintenance work. 8.3 Warning symbols Personal injury or equipment damage Symbol / Term Warns against...

24 Explanations on the technical specifications: Wmax (maximum switching work) is the switching work that must not be exceeded during clutch operations at max rpm. Clutch operations at speeds greater than 1000 rpm substantially reduce the maximum permitted switching work per switching operation. Such operation must be agreed with the manufacturer. The maximum switching power Pmax is the switching work W that can be converted by the clutch per hour. In case of applications where the number of switching operations per hour is Z>1, Fig. 24/1 applies. The Pmax and Wmax values are approximate values. The specified times apply to the following conditions: DC side clutch switching, operating temperature, rated voltage, and rated air gap. All values are mean values that are subject to variation. In case of AC side clutch switching, the disconnection time t2 is substantially longer. The specified rated torques M2 characterize the torque level. Depending on the application the clutch is used for, the switching torque M1 and the transmissible torque M4 may differ from the specified M2 values. The switching torque M1 depends on the speed (rpm). If the friction surfaces are contaminated with oil, grease or dirt, the transmissible torque M4 and the switching torque M1 may drop. The technical specifications apply after the break-in process has been completed (see Table 23/2).
